A prestigious train

Inaugurated in September 1926, the Flèche d'Or (Golden Arrow) linked Paris-Nord to London-Victoria every day via Calais and Dover. This 1st class Pullman train exclusively consisted of chocolate and cream-colored lounge cars. The Canterbury ship was specially built, in 1929, for travelers on this train. The Flèche d'Or, pulled by a Pacific locomotive, was the fastest train at that time, with an average of 68 mi/h (110 km/h) over 180 mi (290 km) until Calais. Today, it is on display at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse.
